Trials and Ambition
I am nothing without trials
Noting without tribulation
Who would I be if I had it all easy?
Who would I be if I speant most of my time dreaming?
I would've lost myself a long time ago.
I am nothing without the scar on my chest
That says, "I am different"
If I didn't have it I'd be insignificant
I would've been replaced a long time ago.
I am nothing without my tribulations
Day in and day out crying to myself
Will you, you, or you, offer me help?
I cry everyday to myself because I believed I should've been dead a long time ago.
I am nothing without my ambition
I fit in a crowd of people below average
Below my standards, I thought I'd finally rise to the top like Lazarus
I feel so behind, feeling like I shouldv'e been successful a long time ago.
But who would I be without my trials?
But who would I be without my tribulation?
What need I to expect more from myself. Ha! I was terribly mistaken.
My trials and tribulations are what make me,
My ambition is what creates me.
I would be nothing without these.
